Tricky Constellation

from RED DOLLARS by Red Dollars

/

lyrics

She drew a tricky constellation and called it her dog
It looked like a sketch of me wasted in the fog
She tasted like light
She tasted like the blind
She tasted like a broken nose
And something else that's hard to find
Even heaven suffers violence and hell has its quiet days
Here we are marching black highway parades
Hubcaps and better ways
We stack roadside altars, park the car and pray
Here lay down the artifacts of her final days
Senior photo, rabbits foot on a chain
Light a candle, leave a mixtape,
Get drunk and pour some out
The letter that you’ve left will dissolve in the rain
So we drive drive drive out to the edge of town
And cry cry cry till it’s our only sound
Tilt your head back and swallow
Tilt your head back and swallow
Trying to erase yesterday, and every other coming tomorrow
I am her dog
And here I am
Wasted in the fog
